Adding Gmail to Mac Mail

I am trying to add my Gmail account to my MacMail. I get an error 400 message. The server cannot process the request because it is malformed. It should not be retried. That's all we know.


How do I fix this?

MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 12.6

Changing the default browser to Chrome resolves the issue. Then changed the default browser back to Safari.

In macOS Ventura or later

  1. From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose System Settings.
  2. Click Desktop & Dock in the sidebar.
  3. Scroll down and choose a web browser from the “Default web browser” menu on the right.

In earlier versions of macOS

  1. From the Apple menu  in the corner of your screen, choose System Preferences.
  2. Click General.
  3. Choose a web browser from the “Default web browser” menu.
